The turn of the millennium was a really strange time. It felt as if we had all been holding our breath as the clock ticked over and we had no idea what to expect from the 21st century. This album arrived at exactly the right moment, mixing weird, glitchy beats, ambient noodling, abstract vocals and discordant jazz breakdowns.
I can see why it took some people by surprise, but would you really have preferred another by-the-numbers collection of rock songs? I’m glad when musicians produce experimental work, even if it doesn’t always land. It took me a while to get into this album, but it’s definitely one that bears repeated hearings, revealing new facets every time.
